In Their Element

an exhibition of contemporary art inspired by the Aristotelian elements of fire and water.

November 15 2018 - February 10 2019 | Tues-Sat 10am-5pm Sun 1-5pm

Humans have used symbols of earth, fire, water, and air for millennia, using them as metaphors to communicate universal ideals and truths about the world in which we live. This exhibition dives into a variety of contemporary practices that continue to express our awe, reverence, and dependence on two of the four Aristotelian elements, in unexpected and dynamic ways.
